Taking on the science of NASA, for example, challenges the kind of people
who put men on the moon, shuttle aircraft into space and back, and robots on
Mars. What I'm saying is, they've proven their ability to do math and
physics. You're talking about two pieces of paper on a table or whatever,
admitting you don't fully understand aerodynamics, and then challenging the
kind of people who did research using SR-71 blackbirds and spacecraft.


My initial assertion was that the experts were not in agreement about
causes lift. Many posters said that I was wrong, that there was total
agreement, that I was mistaken.

...in a pilots' forum. What in hell kind of response did you possibly
expect?


A little bit more focus on the physics, a loss less focus on the
poster.

And with regard to the demonstration I presented in my original post,
I was expecting at least one pilot to give a correct explanation why
the lower paper is lifted off the ground, and not only has anyone
given a correct explanation, but no one has given any explanation at
all.
